Quote of Note
“I Don't Congratulate Floyd and Manny”
“I love sports, but in no way shape or form should any athlete be making over $2 million a year. Sure fighters put their health on the line, Floyd, once a year to fight, but I don't see the soldiers putting their lives on the line every second of every day for our freedom making $60 million dollars a year… they dont make $60 grand for what they do. So to conclude, no I don't congratulate these two athletes, Floyd and Manny, for making money they aren't entitled to, I congratulate moral men with values who can offer something positive to this life.” —Amayseng thinks income inequality is egregious in the sports world
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
